CHICAG0'S LAKE FRONT.
Judge Blodgett Manifests a Disposition to
Force the Suit to Final Hearing.

CHICAGO, March 2l-Judge Blodgett to-day
refused to grant the injunction asked for by the
State of Illinois against the Illinois Central
Railroad Company, restraining the company
from filing in portions of the lake shore until
the celebrated litigation about the lake front is
settled The railroad company has already
seized upon lands whose valuation has been
placed as high as $50, 900. 600. Attorney general
Hunt represented the State in court, and Judge
Lyman Trumbull was there for the railroad.
Mr.. Hunt said that further extension Of time
would be necessary, because the State was not
yet ready with all its evidence. The Attorney
general asked the court if the United States
government could not be admitted as party to
the suit. He said the United States had inn
portant interests and rights to look after 1t
was proper that the State should have its as
sistance Judge Trumbull did not like this
plan. "a new statute" said Judge Trumbull,
will have to be made by Congress before the
United States can be admitted as plaintiff
into this case" The Judge went
to protest against the continued
courts for four years. He said the delay
was malicious and the counsel for the railroads
SAD about the same thing These statements
infamed Mr.. Hunt. and he replied in a few hot
remarks lie said the delay was all due to the
other eide. Judge Blodgett said they were
equally responsible for the delay by not closing
their proofs and getting their cases ready for
hearing Il will not Judge Blodgett said
sdefay important cases now OF my call to hear
this motion argued its merits, considering
that the entire could be disposed of imme-
diately if proper steps were taken to obtain all
the evidence All the Illinois Central company
is now doing is under risk of complete loss, and
as it is merely continuing in what it has been
allowed all chances. No especial damage will
resnlt to anybody on account of what may be
done by the company between now and the
time of hearing tho case. All incentive to a
speedy hearing would be lost were the court to
grant an injunction restraining the road from
Rlling in, AMI must deny that motion. Let an
order be entered compelling the plaintiff to
close all pssssis by May l. and the defendant by
May l5 in order that the case shall be ready
for trial before Justice Harlan in June"
Mr.. Hunt granted leave to apply for a
restraining order in case things began to assume
serious aspect on the lake front

WHY CARTER DECLINES.
He Fears that Chicago May Be the Scene of
Great Disaster Within the Next Two Years.

CHICAGO, March 2l.-Mayor Harrison. this
evening, in an interview gave the following re-
markabe explanation of why he will not again
become the Democratic candidate for the Office
he now holds: II am sixtytwo years DID, said
he; "a life of quiet for a few years may give me
a happy and vigorous old age. A terrible strain
during the next two years may make me de-
crepit valetudinarian. I cannot get any more
honor in this Office. I may get dishonor One
of my officers might become defaulter and
I would receive the blame My fear
ia that we will have some terrible
trouble in this city in the next two years if
the Supreme Court gives the Anarchists new
trial Judge Gary has told me they could never
have another trial: They could not get jury.

ed and they would cause trouble On the other
hand, if they were hanged we may have eonvul. s,

future may develop something different mt, Il Il

The Man Who Foretold Manning's Illness
Predicts Similar Fate for Cleveland.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, March 2L-Dr. T. T. Sewers,
of this city, in an interview with Critic report
er, sounds warning and urges President Cleve
land to change his mode of living. DR.. Sewers,
months before Secretary Manning was seized
with his unfortunate attack, predicted that that
officer would not live through the time of the
present administration, unless as he said at
the time. "a most radical change is made in his
daily life."
To-day, to a Critic reporter, the Doctor runs
on in this manner about the President:
ut may be deemed impertinent to talk to the
President through newspaper man. but know
| of no other way Of reaching him and those about
him SO surely. You recall my attempts
| with the friends of Mr. Manning and
their fruit, and I do not feel
that should take the same chances in this mat
| ter. l am personally apprised Of the Presi-
dents condition, and, while it is in sense dan
gerous. it will not be long before there will be
every reason for alarm. President Cleveland is
large, feshy man, and sirce his advent to the
| White House has gained enormously in flesh.
Now, when he lived in Buffalo it was his habit
| to take long walks Since he came here, how
ever. he has abandoned every form of exercise,
save carriage riding; that is of little or no use
with the springs now used and the smooth
streets for which Washington is famous The
President is man who works with his head q
great deal; is, in fact, an intense brain worker.
He is, in other words, plodder and his brain
| IS constantly filled with an excess OF
blood. What is the RESULT He works with his
head, eats enormously, and fails TO exercise his
muscles; his blood vessels are weakened, and il
| is only question of time before, in a moment
OF excitement, he bursts blood vessel. I tell
| you, at the rate President Cleveland is now liv
ing, there is great danger that he will not live
throughout his term. Something should be done
to bring him to realize his danger and take the
proper steps to prevent the result which will
surely ensue if hs fails to take proper exercise
| What should recommend" DR.. Sewers added
''would be the fixing up of room in the White
House and the setting apart of half hour every
day for gymnastic exercises. That alone, in my
opinion will prevent catastrophe the avoid
| ance of which, not alone the President, but tht
| country at large is interested in securing"

THE BUSSEY BRIDGE.
Further Testimony Showing the Faulty
Character of the Broken Structure.

BosToN. March 2l-The Railroad Commis-
sioners resumed their investigation. this after
noon into the causes of the recent accident at
Roslyndale. Harry Pomeroy, of West Rox-
bury, civil engineer. and formerly superin-
tendent of the New York & New England rail-
road testified that or the morning of the
accident ne found the southern abutment OF
the bridge broken brake-rod. bent like horse

over the wreck, however. ne found severai

theory that the track hanger broke and let the

bridge derailing the and throwing down

AGO last May. From what he saw AT tnat Tune,

An Absorbing Topic Concerning Which but
Very Little Is Known.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON March 2l.--The one absorbing
topic IN Washington continues to be the per-
sonnel Of the interstate commission. Every
mar prominent in business or political life who
comes here is at once seized upon as certain
candidate for place on the board and he is in
terviewe6 and pumped until he leaves. W. ".
Crapo, of Massachusetts,, who was here on Sat-
urday, it is learned to-day positively declined
the profer Of place. It seems to be the settled
conviction Of everyone that New England man
is to be chosen before the President can an
nounce the appointments. The latest to be Sc
lected by common consent is Hon. John ".
Gambler, of Boston. who was a member of the
Forty seventh Congress. Mr.. Gambler only
served one term but during his
service he made an exceedingly
| valuable member of the commerce committee.
| which committee. at that time, had charge of
| the river and harbor bill. He voted for the
| passage of that bill over the veto of President
Arthur, and that vote retired him to private life
1t is said tonight that Mr.. Gambler can have a
| place on the board if he will accept, but his
| friends here think that he cannot be induced to
| do 80. With Massachusetts man decided up
| on the board will be practically complete, for,
although it is said at the White House that only
| three members have been definitely chosen, it is
understood that the fifth will come from New
| York, and that the President has several good
| men in that State from whom to choose, any one
of whom he knows will accept
The contest for the secretarvship of the com
mission has already become quite active. Mr..

sition, and each of the commissioners, when ap-

THE TREASURY VAULTS.

The small Guard That Keeps Watch Over
the Millions Stored Therein.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. March 2l.-The press dispatch
es have announced the fact that the officials of
the Treasury have given orders that several men
who made frequent visits to the vaults should
no longer be admitted. These men have been
lingering around the department for some time.
and it was feared that their design upon the
wealth which was stored in the cellar was not
altogether proper one. The department. has
for some time past allowed visitors in the vaults
between the hours of IL and o'clock each day.
The enormous silver store-house is literally
packed full; there is not room for even another
bag, and naturally the sight of this vast amount
of bullion attracts the cupidity of impecunious
visitors. 1t is great many years since an at
tempt was made to rob the Treasury, and no one
has ever tried tc carry off the coins stored since

the Bland law made storage necessary, Beyond
twenty-five or thirty watchmen who are en-
ployed to watch the building when the clerks are
gone. there is absolutely no protection whatever
against robbers. and it is doubtful If any is
necessary. It is possible that gang of thieves
might secrete themselves somewhere in the
building, and perhaps they might be able to
break into some Of the smaller vaults, but the
exposed position of the building would make it
hardly likely that any thief would have the
hardihood to attempt it. The fact that the
building is not watched from the outside causes
no comment whatever from people who know
how things are conducted in this country, but
the English visitors to the capital always wonder
why a squad Of soldiers are not detailed to
parade in front of the Treasury Building by
night, as is the case in London in the neighbor-
hood of the Bank of England.
